Earth Democracy: Creating Alternatives for Peace, Democracy and Justice
Description:
Vandana Shiva at Oregon State University, Corvallis. Oregon State University's (OSU) Convocations and Lectures Committee hosts Vandana Shiva at OSU's LaSells Stewart Center. Shiva and others have proposed an alternative economy in which corporations are dismantled in favor of smaller enterprises owned by workers, customers and other local groups. She contends such a change would give communities the power to tackle poverty, create jobs, ensure plentiful food and reduce demand for fossil fuels.
